1.2 Array Operations - Traversal, Insertion |
Explanation with C Program | DSA Course
Operations on Arrays in Data Structure
In this blog post, we will be discussing the various operations that
can be performed on 1D arrays in data structures. We have
already covered the fundamentals of arrays, including why they
are needed, how to declare them, and their memory
representation in a previous post. Today, we will focus on how to
traverse an array, how to insert data into an array, and the three
types of insertion (at the beginning, at the end, or at a specific
position). The most important operations we will cover are array
traversal, insertion, deletion, sorting, and searching for a
particular key.
Traversal and Insertion with Code Examples
We will start by discussing how to traverse an array and insert
data into an array, with the help of code examples. We will also
provide code for array deletion.
Array Size and Memory Allocation
Before we dive into the code, it's important to understand that
the size of an array is fixed at compile time and cannot be
changed at runtime. Additionally, arrays do not have any bounds
checking property at runtime, so it is the programmer's
responsibility to check the boundaries of the array in the
program. For example, if we declare an array of size 50, 200
bytes of memory would be allocated by the memory manager.
The base address is 100, so 100 to 299 bytes should be allocated
to this array.
Reading and Writing Data
Now, let's discuss how to read and write data in an array.
The scanf function is used to take input from the user, and
the printf function is used to print something on the output
screen. When using scanf , we write %d for integers. We use a
